TUTOR
Mrs. Buffy Currie began taking martial arts at age 11, started assistant teaching at 15, took over teaching at 19, and took over business at 22. She teaches for the love of safety for all and believes everyone can benefit from learning any martial art. She genuinely cares for the safety and well-being of people, especially women and children. She loves seeing a student finally get something he/she has been struggling with or working on and seeing his/her face light up with happiness! God has blessed her with the ability to teach karate and she is able to share Him with students. Buffy and her husband, David, have 5 children whom they homeschool. This will be Buffy's third year teaching karate at PATH.
